Smashed My Car :*(

so im going west on a street and im about to pass thru the intersection and this corolla facing me waitin to make a left turn to go north starts turning
i swerve around her with my foot on the break the whole time and then i avoid her i stop in the middle of the intersection facing west in oncomin traffic and this van comes and takes me out..
damage.. serious. Bumper is in 2 air bags deployed , headlights all over the place.
Thank fully the corolla lady decided to stick around and told the story so she was charged..

MY girlfriend was w/ me and she was badly shook up both us went to the hospital w/ ambulance
her neck and her right shoulder seem to be bothering her and my lower chest is givin me a lil pain

Happened on green lane for all the Toronto PPl's

So.. if this turns out to be a write off ..i have a lot to sell.
big things mostly My 17' Momo Arrows and my Budget Y pipe ( 3 mths old)

Damn that sucks...

But atleast you and your girlfriend are alright. Are your engine mounts damaged or frame badly bent? If not, then repairing shouldn't be too big of a problem. I hate hearing tragic Maxima stories.

Tunedup,

Sucks about yer car... Glad U & ur g/f are ok.

If both the airbags are gone then you can just assume the car is totalled. Think of the cost of regular bodywork, then add $4k for the two bags, and prolly another $1k for all the sensors that will have to be replaced.

Also glad to see the offending driver stopped - in a lot of cases I've heard of the offending driver who was not actually physically hit has just left the scene, probably thinking because they didn't actually hit anything they're free to go...

Sorry to hear the news. Seems like there's been a definite surge in accidents in the past couple of weeks. I've talked to 4 people (not owners of Maxes) that have been in some pretty bizarre accidents recently.

Glad you and the girlfriend are OK.

Albert

Damn .. 2nd TO crashup story I've read tonight. Just to have another cool max in TO I hope they don't total it. I had $9000 done to mine in the accident I had in october, and they didn't total it... I dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing. *dreams of a TTZ*

Important thing is that you guys are all right. Hope things get fixed well, cheaply and soon. Glad you guys are ok.
